DVR Alert! Watch Paul Wesley on Live with Kelly on April 16

Nobody likes a hiatus (boo!), but the scheduled break from Mystic Falls does give The Vampire Diaries stars a little more free time to make personal appearances (yay!).

According to Broadwayworld.com, coiffed cutie Paul Wesley, the man behind badass resident bloodsucker Stefan, will be dropping by Live with Kelly on Monday, April 16 to chat it up with hostess Kelly Ripa.

We know nothing can replace an actual episode of TVD, but in desperate times such as these, we’ll take what we can get. And even better, TVD will return the following week on April 26. We can do this fanggirls and boys!
